This is a Python script to encode/decode arbitrary computer files into
DNA sequences. It is a straight implementation of a method published in
`this`_ Nature’s paper. The details of the method can be found in the
`Supplementary Information`_ report. Another version of report can be
`found here`_. The source code organization follows the article steps and
nomenclature, so it should be easy to understand.
How to use
----------
Install it using pip:
.. code-block:: console
$ sudo pip install file2dna
The installed script will be called ``dna`` and accepts four types of operations passed as arguments together
with the file name:
.. code-block:: console
$ dna -h
usage: dna [-h] [-e | -s | -d | -j] file
positional arguments:
file File to be encoded/decoded.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-e encode file and save it as .dna
-s encode file and save it as .splitted.zip
-d decode .dna file and save as .decoded
-j decode .splitted.zip file and save it as .decoded
As an example, we can decode one the `files`_ encoded by the authors of
the paper. Suppose you have cloned this repo with its examples folder:
.. code-block:: console
$ dna -d examples/DNA_versions/wssnt10.txt.dna
To see the decoded file:
.. code-block:: console
$ cat examples/DNA_versions/wssnt10.txt.decoded
